    In a town, 30% of the population is ineligible to vote.

    Among those eligible, 50% are women. If 2/5 of eligible men and 1/5 of eligible women voted, find the ratio of male to female voters who voted.

    C 7:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total population be '100n'

    Eligible voters = 0.70 × 100n = '70n'

    Eligible female voters = 0.50 × 70n = '35n'

    Eligible male voters = 70n - 35n = '35n'

    Males who voted = (2/5) × 35n = '14n'

    Females who voted = (1/5) × 35n = '7n'

    Required ratio = 14n : 7n = 2 : 1
